Beam Curved Spring Analysis Spreadsheet
This spreadsheet can be used to obtain design forces for abutment or retaining wall. It also determines pile force for abutments supported on piles.
This spreadsheet does not handle all abutment design tasks by itself, but it is a very flexible tool to determine forces acting on the abutment. Other design tasks to be done by other tools are listed below:
‘- calculate superstructure forces to be input into this spreadsheet
‘- design wall, toe and heel reinforcement for forces calculated by this spreadsheet
Canal section is designed for the discharge as worked out in column ‘Cumulative. Discharge’ of cut-off statement. Same section may be adopted for a group of adjacent. outlets if variation in discharge is nominal. Bed width v/s depth ratio as given below should.
